About me
Are you looking for support for yourself, your child or your relationship?
I am here to help. My name is Lucia and I work with clients of all ages, as well as couples and intimate partners.
Whether grown-up or small, we don’t always know how we feel or what we need. That is why I work with each person’s needs, even unspoken ones, using various techniques from talking to creative approaches, which can help us understand ourselves and overcome challenges whilst building resilience and confidence.
When working with couples and intimate partners, I work with relationships from traditional to non traditional setups, creating a space where everyone can feel heard and understood.
I work with anxiety, anger, neurodiversity, grief, family and relationship difficulties and more. Every client is unique, and each session is tailored specifically to you. Where appropriate, I use creative approaches such as sand tray, play, arts and crafts, alongside talking therapy, adapting everything to your needs and preferences.
Finding the right support for yourself, your child or your relationship can be difficult, filled with worry and the desire to find the right person who can help. That is why I offer a free, non obligatory 20 minute consultation to explore how I can support you, your child or your relationship. Feel free to send me a message to see how I can help.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Psychology and a Level 6 Psychotherapeutic Counsellor Diploma. I work with children, young people, adults and relationships, supporting clients with a wide range of issues including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, loss, neurodiversity, family and relationship difficulties, anger, school issues, parenting issues, domestic violence, health concerns and others.
I have previously worked at primary and secondary schools, as well as organisations including Atrium Clinic, Mind, Shout UK, and Victims First Northumbria.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
